KBC Networks offers with ThruLink a solution to telework with maximum safety and reliability

This device, marketed by ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal, delivers optimal connection quality and data transmission speed to work remotely, especially beneficial in the current period of coronavirus quarantine.

The covid-19 pandemic has changed, in a short time, the professional landscape by creating in companies a need, real and urgent, so that your employees can work with all the security and protection guarantees, without this implying that customers are no longer served.

While there are numerous applications on the market that allow remote access, ThruLink device KBC Networks, distributed by ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal,clearly makes a difference, not just because of the level of security it offers, but for the good quality in the connection and in the speed of data transmission.

The spread of covid-19 creates the need to establish secure and reliable environments so that employees can be connected to the corporate server from any remote point and have access to all the resources they need.

Virtual private networks are used to achieve this (Vpn) and devices that create a virtual 'tunnel' between the points of communication, where data travels encrypted. Below, from Prodextec answer some questions in this regard.

What does a virtual private network provide?

A VPN provides privacy, integrity and security of data transfer, something crucial, especially if sensitive information or sensitive data needs to be managed. VPNs are becoming increasingly popular, even in private environments, and is the most versatile professional solution for secure data sharing.

What are the most important features of a VPN?

First of all, a private and secure connection is needed and, to get it, that employ reliable cryptographic algorithms, like AES, Blowfish, Camellia, Etc. The security of the encoding also depends on the size of the keys, and the most commonly used are 128, 192 and 256 Bit.

While a VPN can be created using software solutions, it's not recommended. A hardware solution is less vulnerable to potential attacks and transmission problems.

What advantages and differential elements does ThruLink bring?

KBC Networks' ThruLink device is characterized by its robust design and optimized transmission path performance.

Another advantage of the connection managed by this device is the high quality that KBC Networks offers in its products to ensure resiliency, reliability and quality in connection.

In addition, the connection established with the server is fully encrypted, with the ability to choose from a long list of ciphers, like AES:128/192/256Bit, Blowfish: 128/196/256Bit, Camellia: 128/196/256Bit, SHA1, SHA256, Rsa: 128/196/256Bit, Fips: 140-2.

Unlike most companies that offer this type of service, one of the key features and benefits of the ThruLink device is that it doesn't require recurring license payment or need maintenance.

Systems created with ThruLink are scalable and easy to set up. Signals can be transmitted over both private and public networks and the failover option (Failover) ensures a stable connection.

Requirement to make an encrypted connection with ThruLink?

An Internet connection is required (Wired, wireless or via a SIM card), a device at the workplace, a device in each remote location from which we want to connect and a computer for the configuration of the device.

Another advantage is that the installation of the equipment is simple and does not require advanced computer skills.
